- Arnout, son of Cornelis Vielè, the first settler, married Geeritje Gerritse of Amsterdam; the records mention but three children, - Arnout, Willempie, who married Symon Jacobse Schermerhorn, and Maria (211-3), who married first Matthys Vrooman, and secondly Douwe Aukes of Schenectady. He usually resided in Albany and was for many years provincial interpreter at all the important negotiations with the Indians, and at their yearly gatherings at Albany. On account of their high esteem for him and as a recognition of his services, the Mohawks in 1683 gave him a parcel of land above Schenectady on the north side of the river called Wachkeerhoha.
In 1687 while on his way to Ottawa to trade with the natives, he was taken prisoner by the French. (211-4)
Espousing the cause of Leisler in opposition to Col. Ingoldsby he was dismissed from his office of interpreter, after which he retired to Long Island (211-5), but being held in "great esteeme with the Indians" and "being a good and faithful interpreter," he was recalled and reinstated in his office. (212-1) At the burning of Schenectady in 1690, his son Arnout was carried away to Canada and remained with the Indians three years, but on the occasion of the attack made upon the Mohawk castles by the French in 1693, he escaped. (212-2)
The above mentioned grant from the Mohawks was that parcel of flat land afterwards called the Fourth flat. It is not probable that Vielè settled upon it, or that his title was regarded as good, for it was about this time occupied by Ludovicus Cobes and his son-in-law Johannes Kleyn (212-3), under title received from the trustees of the township in 1684.

- Note on Find a Grave:
explorer, He was an independent trader and served as a interpreter and principal mediator between the Mohawk Indians and the English in New York State. Aernoudt, would be credited with creating the alliance between the English and the Iroquois league that thwarted French attempts at invasion. In 1660, he signed a petition of prominent fur traders asking for more regulation of the trade. In 1687, he was part of a trading expedition to the Ottowa country and beyond to the Great Lakes region, where his party was taken captive by the French, and held for four months in Quebec. In 1692, he led an expedition into the Ohio River Valley to set up trading. He and his companions spent the next two years exploring the area, and in doing so became the first white men to travel the entire length of the Ohio River.
